Li Xian saw that Guo Zhifeng drew a horizontal knife and slashed at him, but he didn't even dodge, he knew that although the other party was angry in his heart, he didn't dare to take it seriously, after all, his identity was there, if he really dared to do it, he would definitely die without a place to be buried, even if he was a close confidant of Empress Wu, it was useless, because although Gaozong had a cowardly temperament, he really wanted to get angry, and Empress Wu was helpless.

Sure enough, Guo Beifeng's knife stopped moving when it reached a foot above Li Xian's head, he snorted, laughed and said, "You want me to lose my life by killing you, this is too ridiculous, I don't want to be fooled by you." But I've made up my mind to go on the expedition, and it's useless for you to stop it, unless you kill me, but it's like I don't dare to kill you, and you don't dare to kill me. ”

"Hmph, if you insist on going your own way and ignoring the safety of our army, do you think I really won't dare to kill you? Guo Beifeng, don't worry about your identity, if this king kills you, the saint and the queen will punish me at most, reprimand a few words, what else can I do? Li Xian couldn't care so much at this time, so he threatened, hoping that Guo Zhifeng would be afraid and stop sending troops.

But Guo Zhifeng was really not afraid of this, and showed a contemptuous smile at Li Xian, then wiped it on his neck with his hand, and said lightly: "The good head is here, although the king comes to get it, if I frown, I am not a hero." However, if the king really thinks that the last general's discussion is inappropriate, it is better for the last general to lead thousands of Turkic cavalry with General Ashina to Wuhai to help fight General Xue, this Dafeichuan camp and all the baggage grain and grass are handed over to the king, but if you want to come to the king with the dignity of a prince, I'm afraid you don't dare to garrison here alone, right? Otherwise, it is better to be defeated, but if you lose your life or are captured by the Tibetans, I am afraid that it will be too late to regret it. ”

Li Xian's heart sank when he heard this, and he suddenly realized that this was Guo Beifeng's poisonous plan to kill people with a knife, he got out of it himself, led the army to aid Xue Rengui, and could compete with Xue Rengui for the merit of capturing Wuhai, and at the same time threw the task of guarding the baggage to himself, if he was defeated, it would be good to say, and once defeated, all the responsibility would be pushed on his head, and even if he was unfortunately killed by the enemy, wouldn't it be even more of his intention?

But at this time, Li Xian couldn't care about it so much, in order to avoid the burden being destroyed by Guo Bei, he had to grit his teeth and take on this task.

So Li Xian nodded and said: "Do this over there, you take away General Ashina's Turkic cavalry, and the baggage soldiers stay here, led by this king, if General Guo has made the first contribution, don't forget to come back and help me get a hand, you must know that helping others is helping yourself, if I can't support the general and don't come back, hehe, I'm afraid that the general's great merit will be in vain." ”

"You, what do you say? You actually agreed? Guo Zhifeng was taken aback when he heard this, because he believed that Li Xian would never know what his heart was, but even then he agreed, which made him scratch his head.

"Li Xian, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd? I know that it is a pit and jump into it, but I don't care, anyway, I build a camp according to my law, as long as Li Xian is not too stupid, Tubo is an army of 100,000, and it can last for at least a month, and at that time, it is estimated that Xue Rengui and I have already returned, and at that time, the armies of both sides will be flanked left and right, and I will not take the lead in robbing the head, then Li Xian will not die, isn't it the best of both worlds? Of course, I can't take the lead in raising this matter, and now it is naturally best for him to take the initiative to ask for it, and even if he is held accountable at that time, it has nothing to do with me. But Li Xian is very ambitious, I can't cheapen him, well, after the triumph, I will definitely say a few words of 'good words' in front of the queen, so that he can know the benefits of annoying me Guo Beifeng. ”

After Guo Zhifeng made up his mind, he said: "This is what you took the initiative to request, if something happens at that time, don't regret it." ”

Li Xianyan nodded and said, "Don't worry, since this king has agreed, he will naturally do what he says." ”

Guo Zhifeng was immediately relieved when he heard this, and then warmly beckoned Li Xian to sit down, and then sent someone to invite the generals to come to the tent to discuss matters.

After a while, all the generals gathered, Guo Beifeng symbolically analyzed the situation in front of him, and then he and Li Xian "discussed" good things and explained: "Today, the king of Zhou disregarded his own safety, and took the initiative to ask to lead the baggage troops to stay and continue to build the camp to prevent the enemy from cutting off my grain route, and suggested that the general would lead the Turkic cavalry to aid General Xue, echo with General Xue, and break the strong enemy together, the general would first thank the king on behalf of General Xue, so the general ordered, the Turkic cavalry and General Ashina set off with the general to Wuhai, The rest of the people stayed here under the command of King Zhou, and continued to build a camp to prevent the enemy from suddenly coming to cut off our grain route, and to ensure that the foundation of our army was not lost. ”

Seeing that the supreme commander had given orders, the generals naturally had nothing to say.

Guo Beifeng saw that the generals were speechless, and couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, and was about to speak, but saw Li Xian say: "How does General Guo speak inconsistently? He took the initiative to ask to lead troops to help General Xue and ask this king to help guard here, but now how can he say that this king took the initiative to ask? It seems that this king is greedy for this bit of military power, it is better to do this, this king led the Turkic cavalry and the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to go to Wuhai to help in the war, how about General Guo staying here? Or if this king doesn't go to Wuhai, how about we continue to guard this place under the orders of General Xue? ”

Guo Zhifeng saw that Li Xian repented so quickly, and couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and shouted: "Fang just said that it was good, why did you say that I took the initiative?" ”

Although Guo Zhifeng is narrow-minded, he is much worse than Li Xian in terms of face, how does he know that Li Xian has always only been trustworthy to his own people, and he has responded to the enemy, that is, he is not tired of deceit.

What's more, what Li Xian said is not wrong, after all, it was Guo Beifeng who took the lead in proposing to send troops, in fact, from Li Xian's point of view, it is best for Guo Beifeng not to send troops, and guard the Dafeichuan camp with one heart and one mind.

However, Guo Beifeng insisted on going, and there was nothing he could do, if he really killed Guo Beifeng, he would not be able to explain it to Gaozong or Empress Wu, especially Empress Wu, Guo Beifeng was her latest promoted cronies, the object of key cultivation, if he killed the other party like this, Empress Wu would definitely hate himself, and it would be very unwise to offend Empress Wu in the case of his fledgling.

But in terms of personality, Li Xian has already let others burn high incense if he doesn't mess with others, but Guo Zhifeng actually took the initiative to provoke him, obviously because he wanted to compete for credit, and he also put the responsibility on him, how could he bear it? Give Guo Beifeng a little lesson and let him lose face, even the Empress Wu can't say anything.

Although Guo Beifeng is both civil and military, he is simply an imbecile when he plays politics, how do you know the reason for this? Because he didn't know, he was put on a show by Li Xian, which caused him to be not a person inside and outside in front of the generals now, so he had to complain about Li Xian angrily.

But how can Li Xian make him complain? I saw Li Xian laugh and said: "I have just said that if General Guo is really unwilling, he can stay and continue to guard Dafeichuan, or send me to Wuhai to help General Xue, since General Guo is unwilling to do so, it can be explained that General Guo took the initiative in this matter." However, General Guo doesn't need to be angry, in fact, it doesn't matter who takes the initiative to raise this matter first, after all, it is all for the country, and Xiao Wang and the generals will not mind the general. ”

"You, huh." Guo Zhifeng didn't expect Li Xian to be so cunning, but he had no choice, let alone time and energy to quarrel with Li Xian, so he decided not to pay attention to Li Xian, but picked up all his personal soldiers and guards, and handed over to Li Xian, and then led the army to leave with Ashina Daozhen.

Not to mention that Li Xian led the army to work overtime to build camps and strengthen protection, just to say that Guo Beifeng led the army to set off, and before he arrived in Wuhai, he encountered an ambush by the enemy's superior forces, and after a battle, Guo Beifeng and Ashina Dao Zhentong led 7,000 cavalry actually killed more than 2,000, in addition to nearly 3,000 cavalry surrendered to Tubo, 7,000 troops lost 5,000 people, and less than 2,000 people broke through desperately under the leadership of the two generals, and finally escaped.

"Alas, I really didn't expect that we really encountered the enemy, and suffered a heavy defeat, fortunately we didn't bring the grain and grass together, otherwise this battle would really be irreparable.

After this battle, the Turkic elite cavalry under the command of Ashina Daozhen was almost lost, and his depression can be imagined, so he said such a thing to Guo Zhifeng in frustration.

But Guo Zhifeng snorted: "If we take all the soldiers away, this battle may not be lost, this matter is all the King of Zhou's obstruction, otherwise, I will invite the enemy with 20,000 people, even if I am not victorious, it is no problem to hold on for a few days, and I believe that as long as we hold on for a few days, Xue Rengui will definitely be able to rush to the aid in time, and under the attack between our department and Rengui's abdomen, the enemy army will definitely be defeated." ”

Ashina Dao really listened to Guo Beifeng's words, but he was very disappreciative in his heart, he couldn't help but shake his head lightly, and sighed slowly: "Brother Guo, it's not that the younger brother is too talkative, Jun Ben doesn't have to target King Zhou everywhere, after all, he is the beloved son of the saint and the queen, his status is noble, but he has the courage to take responsibility, if Brother Guo seeks to cooperate with him, he may be able to hold Dafeichuan, if he is willful, I am afraid that the consequences of this battle will be unimaginable." ”

Ashina Dao was really kind to persuade him, but he didn't expect Guo Zhifeng to buy it at all, and said sharply: "Old Ashina, who are you talking for?" We're old friends! Hmph, I know, you see that Li Xian's status is noble, so you want to join his disciples and ask him to help you reduce your guilt. Hehe, that being the case, in the future, we will part ways, you go to find your new master, I will go back to the camp to raise troops, and fight Tubo again, this time I will definitely capture Wuhai, and let Xue Rengui see who is the combat genius.
